Hey George,
It appears to me you have an even exchange of LBS 50 so simply add the two percentages and that would be your total percent 25% for the total weight of 100#'s.

Ivan after I mixed it it looked like 12 percent
mostly Milo.
Someone told me to add the two and than divide by 2 for each sack I mixed

George, it will average 12.5% by volume.
Keep in mind that some birds may eat more of one type of grain and they won't all be getting 12.5%. Some will get more and some will get less.

My weird math says 12.5%. Divide 16% by half for the other bag, thats 8%, do the same for the other bag which would be 9% divided by by the other bag equals 4.5%. Add the 8% + 4.5% you now have a 100 lb bag that is 12.5% protein.

George,
It's not just that you come up with the 12.5% but you should consider what grains are used to make up that
mixture. I'd say find out which grains are the most effective for what you are using it for. Kit feeding, for example, in winter would require more corn in your mix
for better maintenance in colder weather climates.In summer
you would not need any corn for a kit mixture.

Hello Jerry,
the given name is Greg but also known by some in the Antelope Valley area as Ruthless because of the no nonsense approach to breeding and flying the little athletes.
Thanks for the welcome and kind words.
Greg
